It is each and every persons responsibility to care for the wild, not because we inherited it from the generations that came before us, but rather because it is on loan from the generations that are still to come.

Tony Blignaut Monkeyland CEO

The more you know about a species, the more you understand about how better to help protect them.

Alan Clark

People are not going to care about animal conservation unless they think that animals are worthwhile.

Lazare Kokolo

Safari guide, Monkeyland

The most important environmental issue is one that is rarely mentioned, and that is the lack of a conservation ethic in our culture.

Christian Schauerte

Ex-curator of primates, Monkeyland

Environmentalism opposes reckless innovation and makes conservation the central order of business.

Lee Dekker

Manager of Birds of Eden, Plettenberg Bay

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
